BAILER BOTTOM.

Appiiatiop sied August 7, 1922. serian iro. 580,369.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, RAPHAEL R. CANDEE, a citizen of the United States, residing at McKittrick, in the county of Kern and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bailer Bottoms, of.

which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to well sinking tools and more particularly to bailers.

The bailer forming the subject matter of the invention includes an up er receptacle or shell to the lower end o which is connected a swivel shoe or bottom section and in between these sections there is arranged a self-closing valve of suitable type. The bailer body includes a portion telescopically fitting in the shoe and which closely approaches a Valve seat or annulus.

' It is an object of the present invention to provide for a suitable degree of rotation of the inner telescopic member so as to permit the registration of outlet ports provided in the swivel shoe and in the telescopic end of the body soy as to effect the discharge of the contents from the bailer and to provide such a construction that will insure the accurate .readjustment of the parts, without jamming, when the ports are turned relatively out of register. In other words, it is an object to provide relatively rotative means which can be adjusted according to the use of the device and be kept free from jamming or clogging by the 'entrance of the material from the chamber of the bailer.

Other objects and advantages will be made manifest in the following specification of an embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the bailer with the bottom in closing position.

Figure 2 is a central longitudinal section of the bailer with the bottom in open position.

Figure 3 is a transverse section on line 3-3 of Figure 1 showing the bottomi in closed position.

Figure 4 is a transverse section on line 4-4 of Figure 2 showing the bottom in open position.' f

Figure 5 is a detail of the interlocking means.I s

The bailer 'consists oii an upper body 2 of any suitable dimensions. and shape, though preferably being cylindrical, and

having any suitable bailing loop 3. To the lower end of the bailer body 2 there is suitably connected a sectionl consisting of a bushing 4 which, in the present case, is shown as pinned or riveted at 5.

To the lower end of the bushing 4 there is rotatively attached a cylindrical bottom or shoe section 6 which is peripherally internally threaded at 7 onto the lower end .of the bushing and may be turned up toward or against an annular shoulder 8 thereon. The lower portion of the bottom 6 is open and has peripheral openings 9. Extending around the bore of the shoe isan inwardly extending shoulder 10 within which is a' mouth 11 and upon' the top of the shoulder 10 there rests a removable annulus or valve seat 10a which has on its upper portion a fiat shoulder 10b which is engaged by the contiguous end 4a of the bushing 4 when the shoe 6 is screwed up Itight. The valve seat 10a has a cylindrical shoulder 10c which is encompassed' by the bushing end 4a So that this will slide up and down toward the shoulder 10b when the shoe is rotated on the bushing 4 so as to bring the port 14 in the bushing into register with the port 13 in the side of the shoefor thedisharge of ma, terial from the bailer. d"

The snug telescopic lit of the bushing end 4a around the rim 10c of the valve seat prevents the material in the bailer from passing in below they transverse end edge of the bushing end 4a. r

There is provided a valve 12 which is hinged at l2 on top of the valve seat 10a.

If desired an interlock may be formed between the bushing end 4a and the valve seat or annulus 10a and this may be secured s as by means of a lug 10e provided on one side of the valve seat to project into a recess or notch 4b in the end edge of lthe bushing v part 4a.

From the above it will be seen that the shoe 6 can be unscrewed or backed off sufli- 100 ciently by a quarter rotation to register the discharge ports 13 and 14 without. the end edge of the-bushing part 4a uncovering the wall or rim 10c of the valve seat.

Further embodiments, modifications and 105 Variations may be resortedto within .the spirit of -the invention as claimed.V v

'What is claimed is: 1. A deep wellbailer comprising a bailer body having a ported lower endportion, a llo I upon said body portion, and a member in-v terposed between said shoe and the end of said body portion which telescopes in the shoe, said member having a peripheral rim rotatively fitting the telescopic end of said body and upon which the said end has a lon-- gitudinal movement when the body and shoe are rotated to register discharge ports.

3. A bailer comprising a ported shoe Section, a valve seat mounted in said section and ormin therewith an annular pocket having a cy indrical wall, and a ported body section telescopic in the shoe section and having its end Sliding in the said pocket so that the shoe and lthe said body sections may be longitudinally shifted without withdrawing the end of the body section from said pocket when the shoe and the body section are partially rotated to register coordinate discharge ports.,

4. ln a deep well bailer, a ported shoe section, a valve seat arranged in said section, and a ported closure sleeve rotative vand slidable in said shoe and adapted to clamp the seat in place.

5. In a deep well bailer, a ported shoe section, a valveseat arranged in -said section, and a ported closure sleeve rotative and slidable in said shoe and adapted to clamp the, seat in place, thesaid seat having a recessed rim over which the sleeve slides. 1

6. A deep well bailer, comprising a bailer body, and a turnable bottom section connected to the body and having a valve, a means above the vaive SQr providing for removal of the contents trom the bailer upon relative rotation of the body and bottom to unloading position.

7. A bailer comprising 'a body, a bottom rotatablyattached to the lower end of the bailer body and having an inlet valve, the bailer body and the bottom `having outlet ports adapted to be registered to permit the withdrawal of the contents from the bailer.

8. A bailer consisting of a cylindrical upper body section, and bushing 4attached to the lower end of such body section andhaving an outlet port in its lower end, and a bottom part turnably mounted upon the bushing and having an outlet port to be registered with the port in the bushing to permit the withdrawal of the contents of the bailer.

9.I A bailer consisting of a cylindrical upper body Section, and a bushing attached to the lower end of such bodysection and having an outlet port in its lower end, and a bottom part turnably mounted upon the bushing and having an outlet port to be registered Vwith the port in the bushing to permit the withdrawal of the contents of the bailer, said bottom having an inlet valve.

10. A deep well bailer, comprising a bailer 4 body, a bottom section threaded on the lower end of said body and having a valve, saidl body and bottom havin ports above ,the valve for providing fort e removal of the contents from the bailer.

11. A deep well bailer comprising a bailer body having a threaded end and a shoulder at said threads, sa'id body`having an outlet port, a bottom section turnably mounted on said threadsl and Jhaving an outlet port,

whereby when the bottom is turned in one y direction the ports are registered and when turned in the other dinection the bottom 'is jammed against said shoulder and the ports held out of register.

In testimony whereof lI have signedwmy.Y
